Prerequisite

Ÿ Basic programming knowledge: the ability to program with C++ or Java.

Ÿ Knowledge about Computer Network: be familiar with network hierarchical structure and related protocols.

Course Objectives

The goal of the course is to look top-down as well as bottom-up, to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the IoT. After this course, students should be able to:

Ÿ Describe the operating mode of general IoT,

Ÿ Understand the restriction factors of wireless networks and mobile networks,

Ÿ Analyze real performance of wireless sensor networks, and to

Ÿ Propose and achieve a simple network solution for a specific scene.

CourseSyllabus

Ÿ Introduction to IoT: the origin and development of the IoT, core technologies, key features, application prospects of IoT.

Ÿ RFID technology: working principles, technical standards, tag collision, RFID and the IoT.

Ÿ Wireless sensor technology: brief introduction, network architecture, network features, network protocols.

Ÿ M2M technology: technical characteristics, basic requirements, application protocols, practical applications.

Ÿ Internet basics: network hierarchical structure, protocols of application layer, transport layer and network layer.

Ÿ Low-speed wireless network: network demand, network protocols (Bluetooth, infrared, Zig Bee), networking and internetworking.

Ÿ Mobile communication network: history of development, communication technologies and standards.

Ÿ Mass storage: storage requirements, network storage architecture, data centre.

Ÿ Case study: smart house, intelligent transportation system, intelligent logistics, environmental monitoring.
